Just so you all know not all agencies/dispatchers are as ignorant as that one. Last November I was in a similar situation-fortunately I did not have to shoot the suspect. He had a knife, was in my front entry, luckily for him I was able to talk him out of the knife (persuaded by the muzzle view of my Kimber). The Washington county dispatcher actually wanted me to keep the suspect contained until the sniper and entry team could get into good covering positions outside my house. Once I KNEW that the suspect was being covered by weapons (albeit from outside the windows) and only then did the dispatcher ask, did I safe my weapon. Had she asked before then I would have politely (yeah right) refused. Kudos to Washington county deputies for also not making out as the "bad guy" for keeping my family safe via my pistol. My prayers go out to that family having to be put through all that drama.
I would have done the same thing. But wouldn't that be considered "Brandishing?" Sense he couldn't STAB YOU through the door.
I was told by my CHL instructor you can NOT show your weapon simply to deter someone. (I think that is completely stupid...but the law is the law)
I feel it's better to deter then to kill. But hey, I don't make the laws.

I think the husband showed an INCREDIBLE amount of restraint. After all that the guy did to get in... busting down the down while a gun was pointed at him...
Empty the mag...
Kinda like a samaria sword. Don't take it out unless you are ready to use it.
Having said that, if I am in my home, I'm not going to get my gun, put on a belt, holster the weapon, and put on a jacket, just so I wouldn't "brandish" it.
Nobody was saying that you should, but I just thought the image of dressing up for a gunfight to be a funny one.
